Edit Question
Title
Body
It seems there is a lot of confusion between these two connection pooling libraries. What I want to know is which one is better (if at all)? Here are some points which I would like to put up... Could someone please verify? Tomcat DBCP: uses the default tomcat-dbcp.jar which will be present in your tomcat/lib directory. You do not need commons-dbcp.jar or commons-pool.jar libraries in your web-inf/lib. The DB driver should be placed in tomcat/lib. Tomcat DBCP datasource class is org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource . Commons DBCP datasource class is org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource . The only difference between these two can be found in this blog . Do not know if the information is correct or not. The official Tomcat documentation mentions clearly that most classes have just been re-named and re-packaged. So the question is: which one to use and which one is better ?
